Reliable, Great Work Ethic and Quality Workmanship. Francis responded very quickly to our add and we worked out the work details and price in a very easy manner. He started the week following the agreement and finished the job in 2 weeks. (by being there most days and putting in long hours). The bathroom is fantastic and he was able to make many decisions without us being there. (We are from Toronto and he did the work at our cottage).
Great initiative, suggesting adding electrical switches to make the bathroom and hallway lighting more sensible.
My husband and I were completely satisfied with a job that was extremely well done!
Hi Debby,
I cant even express how pleasant is was driving to the job site every morning. I really enjoyed taking the job on and meeting you was a pleasure. I am pleased that you and David are happy with the end result. Please feel free to call me with any concerns or projects in the furtue.
Shalom.

Francis and Kyle Bounds were professional and their workmanship is par none. They work very well together so it's a quick job, so you have more time to enjoy your home. They are polite and friendly; very clean and dust free since I have asthma. They went above and beyond the job done. I feel as if I'm living in a new home. Well done guys!
Thank you Janet, It was a pleasure meeting you and Mike and I am glad that Kyle and I were able to take care of the issues after your flood. I can only imagine how you must of felt after it happened. Good luck in your new surroundings and please feel free to contact us if there are any issues.

We intended to finish the basement ourselves as we have done numerous times before in our own homes as well as for relatives. Therefore we are very knowledgeable in building codes and know everything that needs to be done to finish our basement properly. Life is busy and pending health issues caused us to seek an alternative this time. We previously pulled the permits and had a design but we were unable to complete. Hiring a contractor for this big of a project was a new experience for us. Through the process of contacting contractors and having meetings to go through plans and discuss our budget we decided to hire Lindeman Contracting. The reasons were not that he was the cheapest nor was he the most expensive but the fact during the interview he was one of the most knowledgeable and professional.
We already had purchased all the flooring and some building materials that Francis used up and had reduced his quote accordingly.
We had an existing bathroom in the basement but wanted it enlarged to make more useable space and the end results were well worth it. Lindeman Contracting knows the building codes and supplied and installed the proper Egress window (hopper style) for the basement bedroom to be legal.
Frances listened to our ideas and incorporated any changes that we wanted with fair pricing. He finished on time and budget. During the weeks of construction, Frances was punctual, consistent and completed each step of project in timely fashion.
The only thing that Francis could improve on is cleanliness of work area. It really wasn't that bad but we are really fussy on cleanliness and organization.
"PICTURES ARE WORTH A THOUSANDS WORDS", look for yourself.
Thank you Frances for an outstanding job and a gorgeous basement.
"We highly recommend Lindeman Contracting for the job!"
Thanks Gary,
It was a pleasure working on your basement project. You and Pat made it very easy for us. I really enjoyed every aspect of the project like the rounded corners instead of the square corners, spraying all the trim instead of the brushed finish, the knock down California ceiling and many more little differences that end up making a big difference. I hope your family has many trouble free, enjoyable years in a very comfortable space.
Recommended to us by trusted neighbours and we had the opportunity to see Mr. Lindeman's finished work in more than one home.
Superb workmanship and attention to detail. Very creative and innovative with his carpentry skills. Very meticulous with the tile work in the bathroom. No short cuts, city by-laws all respected and work approved by city inspectors.
Provided an accurate written quote prior to commencing work. Stayed within budget for original work and stayed within quotes for additional work and / or upgrades as the project progressed - as the new features were added, we noticed that older features were looking dated and had to be replaced.
Mr. Lindeman left the house as clean as possible after every workday and if tools had to be left overnight, they were kept together in a place that would not be disruptive. Keep in mind that the dust is inevitable and a good cleaning and duct cleaning is in order once the job is complete. It helps to keep doors of unaffected rooms closed and to remove as much as you can from walls and areas that will be high-traffic during the job.
All garbage was removed in a timely fashion.
Timing is never perfect - with an old house, there will be surprises that will extend the job and with exterior work, weather will always be a factor.
We have asked Mr. Lindeman to return in the spring to take care of a couple of new projects.
Mr. Lindeman's rates reflect the quality of work you may expect. During our research, we found no complaints with the Consumer Protection Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Government Services or the BBB. He was also readily able to provide proof of his liability insurance information.
We've already been pleased to recommended Lindeman Contracting to others.
Thank you Les,
It was an absolute pleasure to work for you and Josh. I enjoyed all our conversations you made it very easy to work in your home and i might add ,its a very nice home. I really liked all the choices you made for your bathroom and it added pleasure to my job. I am looking forward to our next project in the spring.
Thanks Again.
My husband and I recently underwent a kitchen renovation. Due to some unfortunate circumstances our previous contractor that was referred to us by our cabinet company bailed on us and left us in a pretty big bind. To find a contractor on such short notice (who was actually good) was pretty difficult, but Lindeman contracting pulled through! Not only were they able to meet our very tight deadline, they did it was utter perfection. All of my dreams of our new kitchen came to light with the help of Lindeman Contracting. Extra attention to detail was taking with trim, moulding and our tongue and groove ceiling. The paint and backsplash were exactly what we wanted. The best part about them is that when I wasn't sure about something they would come back again and again until I was 100% satisfied with how it looked. Although we may have been "those clients" who drove them nuts, not once did you ever see annoyance or anger from them! Another great thing was that Lindeman Contracting did it, from electrical to plumbing to tiling to paint. It was comforting to know we didn't have to project manage five different trades! Francis is a gem to work with and we would recommend Lindeman Contracting to anyone!
Thanks so much Rachel,
I Had fun doing the work and my objective is always make sure the client is happy. I have made decisions with things only to regret it so I know what it is like. I never want to leave a client feeling it could have been better and if all it takes is that extra effort... why not? We all end up better off for it.
Thanks again and until next time. Shalom.
The best! Francis came glowingly recommended and exceeded expectations: tore out and replaced our kitchen on time and on budget, with exemplary workmanship and minimal disruption. He's very pleasant to have around, totally trustworthy and considerate, and cheerfully resourceful in the face of the inevitable changes and additions requested by ignorant clients in mid-project. A great guy and a wonderful contractor.
I was referred to and hired Francis to renovate my home three years ago and he is still my "go to" guy for all things home related...including the upcoming installation of new doors and windows (the last phase in a four phase renovation). My renovation project included demolition, new basement, new bathrooms, reconfigured floor plans, new kitchen, new electrical, lighting, duct work and plumbing, new cedar decking, renovated front porch and entrance, etc. -- and Francis completed it all on time, on budget.
I love working with Francis...he is an expert at what he does, is responsive, patient and collaborative and he adds alot of extra value to my projects. I've learned a lot from him.
I always feel better when Francis is on the scene and I trust him explicitly. He cared as much about my project as I did...and he took great care to ensure the integrity of my +100 year old house. That is why I've recommended him many times to friends (with the understanding that my projects take priority LOL).
Experienced. Integrity. Expert. Professional. Fair. Responsive. Collaborative. Engaged. Creative. Solutions-oriented. Honest.
